KZN pastor claims boiling water 'miracle'

A Pietermaritzburg pastor has claimed he performed a miracle and is an apostle of God after he allegedly poured boiling water on himself and members of his church.

According to his Facebook profile, Pastor Thamsanqa Sambulo, who is just 23-years-old, is the founder and apostle at Thy Word Kingdom Harvest Ministries.

The Facebook page of Thy Word Kingdom Harvest Ministries told the story of Sambulo’s miracle claim. According to the post, one evening during a church gathering, Sambulo asked a member of his church to “go boil water in a kettle at the kitchen”.

Sambulo then allegedly hugged the kettle “on his chest”.

The post read: "The congregation was in shock, as they shouted: 'NO!' (sic) Some couldn't even look.
